Definitely not necessary, but whatever -- let's assume it worked
for the moment :-)

No. The first contains the process id of the mysql server, and the
other is the socket used to communicate with it.
I'd imagine that somewhere under /Applications/MAMP is a directory
with a bunch of files with names starting with mysql. Look around, or
run this from a prompt:
find /Application/MAMP -type f -name 'mysql*' -print
> Symlinks?
Um, I'd recommend doing a little reading up on general *nix/shell
use. ("symlinks" is short for "symbolic links" -- a way to have a file
referenced from a different directory than it's really located in.)
But we can skip that for now; you just need to find what to add to
your PATH. And Rick already explained that.
Oh, yeah, but it's `echo $PATH`, not `print`.

[Rails] Re: mySQL setup - I'm losing it here.
How did you install mysql? If you used port then its mysql5 not mysql which is the command to open the mysql client... If you are trying to install mysql using anything other than macports.. dont't... I recommend that you go to macports.org site and download the latest version...

First, how do I add it to my PATH? Second, I used this to install mySQL: http://www.mamp.info/en/index.php Not sure if that was necessary/proper. The install folder for MAMP has this: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/ Which holds two files mysql.pid and mysqp.sock - am I correct in assuming that those are the executables I need to set my path too? Symlinks?

You need to find where the MySQL executables are installed and add that directory to your path. Or create symlinks to, say, /usr/local/bin. This is just basic *nix stuff.

Hello Ryan, > bio4054059:depot rmorourk$ mysql -uroot depot_development > -bash: mysql: command not found "command not found" is your shell telling you that whatever directory you have installed mysql in to is not on your search path. If you type "print $PATH" you will see a colon separated ordered list of directories that are searched for executable commands. To temporarily extend the list just type: set PATH=MYSQLHOME:$PATH where MYSQLHOME is the full path to the directory containing mysql executable. i.e. MSQLHOME might be /usr/local/mysql/bin. You should then be able to execute the mysql -uroot... command. Once you have success with this, you should modify your shell startup file to make the PATH change permanent.

Hello Ryan, Make sure you have only one mysql in ur machine and there is database with name 'depot_development' and try again. Thanks, Sadeesh.
